Ask yourself, Have you got the minerals?

We’re going for it!​

On the corner of 42 High Street Broadstairs, there’s a bank with a security system unlike any we’ve ever seen before. Tunnelings out of the question and there’ll be no Mission Impossible dangling like puppets neither.
We’re looking for an elite group people to put themselves forward for the biggest heist in Kent’s history.

We really enjoyed it. Small aside, there’s one bit very early on where you need to look through something to progress - we were all too short!

A solid game and worth doing if you're already in the area. It's set in a bank vault and it felt like they didn't quite make full use of the space (there is a lot of time in a corridor, and not so much in the mostly empty vault room). Matt the GM was enthusiastic and clearly knew their stuff.

The last puzzle was a bit illogical so we needed a lot of help on that which meant it ended a bit flatly but overall a decent game.

Ignore the 75 minute timing, for most people this will be a standard 60 minute game.

A shiny diamond!


Story - you're a group of robbers and you have 75 mins to get the shiny diamond in a high security bank otherwise the police will show up!

Theming - I was very impressive of how great the theming was. Also it was set inside a old bank so that was a bonus. Also it quite claustrophobic for the 1st half of the room so do be warned if you hate confine space but it shouldn't ruin your experience!

Puzzle - some crazy puzzle which I thought works so well with the theming and make you feel like an actual robber which was great but it's not an easy as 95% of the puzzle are high technology puzzle which was really cool and great. There was some random puzzle which worked great and quite funny as they do help you to get that diamond. 

Clue system - this one was very interesting, it's a pre recorded audio system as it has tight walls and its underground which was very interesting as it's quite new.

Positive - the puzzle were great and creative, good theming, interesting story, good clue system and great GM!

Negative - there was no intensity near the end so you don't know if you ran out of time, there was no clue to point out towards a puzzle and add a little bit of theming (I did inform this to our GM Jonathan and he was glad that I gave him my feedback)

Overall experience - this is their first ever room that they made and they did great, also there is a bar so you can have a great time with friends and family. I recommend to anyone who live in Kent to do this room you won't be dissapointed!

I did this room when it was on testing stage so it might have changed in the future 😊
